I'm feeling extremely stupid for only just now realizing that Mari's name is 99.99% likely to be a reference to Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein. I think I need to reevaluate my entire life until this point if I'm only just getting it now.
Huh. First time I've seen someone get blindsided by the experience of being kissed by their newfound love interest, yet ask for more in unhestitant wonder at how good it feels instead of getting all flustered.
@urtoast: Would you feel better by knowing that I too didn't notice until you pointed it out?
